Avoid Gifting Blunders: What to Check Before Submitting Personalisation Details

There’s nothing quite like the joy of giving a custom keepsake, but a simple typo can turn a "wow" moment into an "oh no." Here is our maker's guide to getting it right every time.

At Make It Personal Gift Co, we take pride in crafting beautiful, high-quality items that tell your story. However, because each piece is uniquely made to order, the details you provide at checkout are final. To ensure your gift is exactly as you imagined, we’ve put together the ultimate pre-submission checklist for our Australian community.

What should I check before ordering personalised gifts?

Before hitting 'buy,' always double-check the spelling of names, the accuracy of dates (DD/MM/YYYY), and your choice of font or colour. It is vital to provide details exactly as you wish them to appear, as most makers use a "copy and paste" workflow to ensure accuracy to your original request.

Pro-Tips for Perfect Personalisation

• Check your casing: Avoid typing names in ALL CAPS unless you specifically want that look. Many of our elegant script fonts look best in Sentence Case (e.g., Sarah), and using all capitals can sometimes make the text difficult to read.
• The Auto-Correct Trap: Smartphone auto-correct is the number one cause of misspelled names. Read the text back letter-by-letter before adding to cart.
• Follow the Prompts: Only provide the details requested in the customisation boxes. Adding extra notes inside a name field can sometimes lead to confusion during the design process.
